The difference between cross-stitch and embroidery
At first glance, embroidery and cross-stitch are not different. In fact, they have different roots and hide a different history. Apart from the fact that the finished product has a slightly similar effect.
Let me explore the differences by comparing them from three perspectives.
Firstly, the origins of cross-stitch in different countries. Cross stitch spread from Turkey to Europe via Italy in the 4th century AD.
It was a form of leisure and relaxation for the nobility of the European courts. Nowadays cross-stitch is quite popular not only in Europe, but also in the United States and in Asia in Korea, Japan and Taiwan, where women can be seen everywhere embroidering cross-stitch. Cross-stitching has now become a leisurely fashion trend in China, too.
